VERSE 2. Beneath the Lemon Tree one day my love and I did lie A girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky We passed that summer lost in love beneath the Lemon Tree The music of her laughter hid my fathers words from me REPEAT CHORUS VERSE 3. One day she left without a word she took away the sun And in the dark she left behind I knew what she had done She left me for another it`s a common tale but true A sadder man but wiser now I sing this song to you REPEAT CHORUS |
